THE NATION'S DEAD. 

1861 — 1865. 



[From the Round Table. '\ 



Four hundred thousand men, 

The brave — the good — the true, 
In tangled "wood, in mountain glen. 
On battle plain, in prison pen, 

Lie dead for me and you I 
Four hundred thousand of the brave 
Have made our ransomed soil their grave. 

For me and you ! 

Good friend, for me and vou 1 



Up many a fortress wall 

They charged — those boys in blue — 
'Mid surging smoke, and volleyed ball 
The bravest were the first to fall ! 

To fall for me and you ! 
These noble men — the nation's pride — 
Four hundred thousand men have died. 

For me and you I 

Good friend, for me and vou ! 



In many a fevered swamp. 

By many a black bayou, 
In many a cold and frozen camp 
The weary sentinel ceased his tramp. 

And died for me and you ! 
From Western plain to ocean tide 
Are stretched the graves of those who diei! 

For me and you 1 

Good friend, for me and you ! 

On many a bloody plain 

Their ready swords they drew, 
And poured their life-blood, like the rain, 
A home — a heritage to gain, 

To gain for me and you I 
Our brothers nuistered by our side ; 
They marched, and fought, and bravely 
died, 

F^or me and you ! 

Good friend, for me and vou I 



In treason's prison-hold 

Their martyr spirits grew 
To stature like the saints of old ; 
While, amid agonies untold. 

They starved for me and you I 
The good, the patient, and the tried, 
F'oin- hundred thousand men ha\e ilied. 

For me and you ! 

Good friend, for me and \ou ! 

A debt we ne'er can pa\ 

To them is justly due ; 
And to the nation's latest day 
Our children's children still shall say, 

"They died for me and you !" 
Four hundred thousand of the brave 
Made this oui- ransomed soil their grave. 

For me and you I 

Good friend, for me and vou I

A SOLDIER'S GRAVE. 



MAUIAK I)01"<;LAS. 

Glad roV)ins siiijiiiig in tlie boughs, 

Lon inunmir ot tlie bees, 
A hill-siilc burying ground closi'd round 

Witb wiitiing apple-trees; 
The snowy Howers drift softly down 

L'i)<>n the (juict graves, 
And in the south wind over one, 

A small Jhig gently waves. 

Those lloating eolors make for me 

That grassy mound a shrine. 
What though the one who sleeps beneath 

Knew naught of me or mineV 
Vet that biave life, (luenched long ago. 

Seems of my own a part ; 
For he who dies for freedom, lives 

In every freeman's heart. 

Harper s Bazar, May sS, iS()2 



OUR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 



"To New Hanipsliiro iiu'ii the \vhi>lo nation is a ?;fi)\iUlirt'. lor their blood lias 
•watered the soil of every state but tlieir own. and their dust is mouldering by every 
great river and in everj- mountain pass Iroin Maine to (ieorgia— from the Charles to 
tlie IMo Grande and tlie Ked Kiver of the Xortli. They died before Warren at Bun- 
ker Hill, before Washington at ^'orktown. under the eye of Jaekson at New Orleans ; 
they were thrown in their hammoek-shroud from the bloody deek of Paul Jones, and 
Lawience, and Deeatur, and Farragut : they marehed with Sherman, they charged 
with Sheridan, they conquered with Thomas, they fought it out on his own line with 
♦ iiant. But no soldier of n)y native state ever fell on his own soil, or was buried 
in his dear native earth, iinless the restless ocean east his l»ody on its narrow sea 
ooasl, or the love and eare of parent, or brother, or child, restored to ilu-ir sorrow 
and pride the corpse that had fallen a thousand miles from home." 

Hon. F. B. Sanborn, of Concord, A/ass., 

in the M(i.<sac/iits('/is Lcoiflatiire, March /./, /SS'g.

LINCOLN'S SPEECH AT GETTYSBQRG. 

NOVKMP.EK l!i. ls(i;j. 



"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a 
new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are 
created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that na- 
tion, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. "We are met 
on a great battle-fleld of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that 
lield, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation 
might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this, lint, in a 
larger sense, we cannot dedicate — we cannot consecrate — Ave cannot hallow — this 
ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, 
far above our poor power to add or detract. The world Avill little note, nor long 
remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for 
us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who 
fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to 
the great taslj remaining before us — that from these iionored dead we take increased 
devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that 
we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, 
under (iod, shall have a new birth of freedom— and that government of the people, 
by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

been well known amongst us as a lirm

death will be lamented. Thus one after

'•Capt. George Fishley. We gave in 
our paper last week a short obituary of 
this venerable citi/eu, who died in this 
city on the 2iith of December [l.s.'fO], in 
his '.list year. 

Mr. Fishley possessed to the la.st years 
of his life, most of his faculties to a re- 
markable degree. For many years he 
has on publie occasions appeared con- 
spicuously in the processions, in a cocked- 
hat which almost vied in years with the 
wearer. 

He was born on the 17th day of .lune, 
171)0. At the age of seventeen he en- 
tered the continental army under (ien. 
Poor and Col. Dearborn, in the cours3 
of the three years of his service he was 
at the battle of Monmouth [.lune -J.^, 
177><J, (in which action (ieneral ^\'ashing- 
tou commanded the .\merican and Sir 
Henry Clinton the lUitish forces), at the 
execution of ^Nlajor Andri- [October _», 
17«o],andin ths various positions the 



army occupied at that time. .\s an in- 
stance of revolutionary service, he related 
that just seventy-tlircf ye.irs ago last 
Tuesday [ Decemi^er :'.l , 1 777 | , he marched 
with his c )mpanions in arms, several 
miles, in the vicinity of \' alley Forge, 
without shi>i's or stockings. 

.\fter leaving the land service, he em- 
barked in a privateer on the ocean — was 
captured, and held as a prisoner at Hali- 
fax. 

His after life was spent mostly in trad- 
ing — for many years he had command of 
a coaster between I'ortsmouth and Uos- 
tou — and when by the ju:5t provision of a 
grateful country pensions were granted 
to the soldiers of the Iv'nolution, h(^ be- 
came a recipient of that bounty, and was 
enabled therel)y to descend in comfort 
to the grave. 

In political feelings he was strongly 
\\ hig — so much so that when 1 'resident 
Polk visited I'ortsmouth a few years 
since, he said he declined at llrst shaking 
hands with him, because he had no po- 
litical sympathies with him. la is4(i, 
when the great gathering of the Whigs 
of New Hampshire was made at Con- 
cord, a company of about :!()n citizens 
went from Portsmouth. As iin emblem 
of Commerce, a miniature ship was 
rigged, and was drawn from our wharves 
to the political capital of the State. The 
commander of this vessel, Avhich will be 
long remembered, was Capt. Fishley. 

In isl.". he celebi-ated his birthday, the 
17th of .Tune, in the great meeting on 
Bunker Hill [held to celebrate the com- 
pletion of the monument erected in com- 
memoration of the battle fought there 
sixty-eight years before]. He was 
among those few IJevolutionary soldiers 
who were companions on that occasion. 
Incorpiirated in his very existence was 
the spirit of ^f.— and on all fitting occa- 
sions it was prominently visible. 

With him the last of our cocked hats 
[and the last veteran of the Kevolution 
residing here, excepting Mark (ireen and 
.John McClintock] has departed. He was 
an amiable man, a good citizen, and be- 
loved by all who knew him. 

He was buried from St. .lohn's church 
on Tuesday last— the i'orlsmoutli (ireys 
doing the last military honors to the old 
patriot." 
Portsmouth yoiirmil, Jaunary 7, iS^i. 

Ceorge Fishley and Mark (irecn -were 

the last surviving IJevolutiouary Soldiers 
residing in I'ortsmouth, and took part as 
such in many Fourth of .Inly and other 
celebrations. 

When I'resident Polk visited Ports- 
mouth July 4. 1S17, Fishley and Green." 
wearing their Continental uniforms and

cocked hats, were driven iu a carriage in 
tlie procession. 

It is told <if I'ishley tliat when Adams 
and Jefferson were buried in 182(!. and a 
procession was contemplated in Ports- 
month, of which the IJevoliitionarj' he- 
roes were to form a part, the committee 
came to Fishley retiuesting him to ap- 
pear. He asked who were to be there. 

All were named until was mentioned. 

"•What" cried the old man, "He a patri- 
ot! Why he was a d Hessian, and 

came over here to fight us for six pence 
a day. No s-i-r, I don't ride with sucii

William (iaidner was Knsign of Capt. 
John Langdons company of Cavalry, 
which volunteered for, and took part in 
General Sullivan's campaign in Rhode 
Island, in the summer of ITTs. 

"William Gardner was of Portsmouth, 
born in 17.M. and bred a merchant, be- 
coming a successful and wealthy one. 
He was one of the leading patriots of the 
town of Portsmouth, in word and deed. 
Being agent for clothing for the Inited 
States, he received a requisition for blank- 
ets, Avlien there were none in Portsmouth 
market, and no money in his hands, and 
still worse, the government had little 
credit. 

Pearning that a merchant of Xewbury- 
port had a supply of them. Major Gard- 
ner repaired to that town to r-urchase, 
but was refused them on the credit of the 
government. He purchased them on pri- 
vate account, and gave his own note for 
them. The requisition was filled, the 
soldiers supplied, but when the note be- 
came due, ;\Iajor (iardner had to pay it 
from his own funds, very much to his 
own inconvenience, if not injury. In af- 
ter years he presented his claim to a bank- 
rupt treasury in vain. 

He was appointed T. S. Loan orticer" by 
Washington, as some remuneration for 
his sacrifices. I am not aware that he held 
any other military ottiee than the present 
one [see above], — which gave him the title 
of Major, as by the order of the Com- 
mittee of Safety, empowering Capt. John 
Langdon to raise an independent company 
in Portsmouth, he was to rank as colonel, 
and of course, his lieutenant and ensign, 
as lieutenant colonel and major. Major 
Gardner continued as V. S. Loan oilicer 
as long as the ottiee was continued. He 
died April 2!), is;',;? [is:i4], in the s:id 
year of his age."

called for by the President, from New 
Hampshire, should be raised and made 
ready for the field without delay, he per- 
sonally appealed to the banking institu- 
tions and private individuals of the State 
for assistance, and they promptly placed 
at his disposal six hundred and eighty 
thousand dollars. 



To call an extra sesiou of the Legisla- 
ture Avould involve not only delay but ex- 
pense, and (iovernor (ioodwin. with the 
advice of his council, assumed the entire 
responsibility as commander-in-chief of 
the militia to act without special legisla- 
tive authority. The result of his Avork 
became, as Ave all knoAv. a vital part of 
our State's history, (tn the assembling 
of the Legislature in June. (iov. (ioodwin 
plainly and concisely stated the position 
he assumed and the motives Avhich act- 
uated him. The Legislature at once en- 
dorsed all his acts by unanimously pass- 
ing the enabling act, relieving the (Jov- 
ernor of his heavy responsiblity. His 
administration of State a Hairs for tAvo 
years met Avith almost universal approv- 
al, and he left the ottlce Avitli the highest 
respect of all parties. 

Because of an earnest desire to retire 
from the active duties of life, ex ( iovernor 
(ioodwin had been gradually AvithdraAving 
from ollicial positions, but at the time of 
his death he Avas I'resident of the foUoAv- 
ing organizations : — First National 15ank, 
Piscata<ina Savings Pank, Portsmouth 
(Jas Company. Portsmouth P.ridge Com- 
pany, and Portsmouth HoAvard P>enevo- 
lent Society, which oftices he held with 
ability. 

Asa member of the [legislature and of 
the Constitutional ConA'ention he took a 
leading part on committees and in debate. 
His speeches Avere never made for show : 
he spoke only when there seemed to be 
occasion for it, and then ahvays to the 
point, and was listened to with great re- 
spect and attention, for his conservatism 
and practical Avisdom in all matters of 
public policy were Avell-known. 

In I si.'7 he married Sarah Parker Rice, 
daugliter of William Pice, Esq., a wealthy 
merchant in this city, by Avhom he had 
seven children : his Avife, one son and tAVO 
daughters surviving him. 

His last appearance before the public 
Avas on the evening of Memorial day. May 
:'.(», I Ss:>, in Music Hall, at Avhich (as in 
all the years since that day Avas set apart 
for remembering the dead heroes of the 
late war ) the ex-Covernor jiresided, and 
as usual gave an address full of patriotic 
sentiment. His remarks on that occasion 
Avere particularly choice and delivered 
Avith unusual force. 

Without neglecting any private duty, 
he yielded to frequent calls upon his time 
and services for the public Aveal, and in 
cA'crything promotive of the prosperity 
of his country, state and city, he ever 
manifested an earnest interest, dnd every 
good Avork found in him an earnest friend 
and helper. 

He was charitable, but his charities 
were not bestowed 'to be seen of men.'

Very many in this city who have been the | 
recipients of his bounty will miss and 
mourn a sympathetic friend indeed. In ' 
theological opinion he was a Initarian 
of the highest type of the ('banning 
school, and was a devoted member of the 
Stone cliurch in this city. His social life 
was consistent with the faith he profess- 
ed, and alike in odicial or uiioflleial po- 
sitions, his influence was helpful to pub- 
lic and private morality. Truly a good 
man has gone and 'his Avorks follow him." 

What more fitting time for a noble heart- 
ed patriot to Ijreathe his last than on the 
evening of the anniversary of his nation's 
birthday !

Thus died and was buried, sixty-eislit 
years after the close of the Revolution, 
our last resident Contineutal soldier. 

Of the citizens of Portsmouth Avho 
took part in the Revolution. Capt. John 
Mc( liutock, who served in a private- 
armed vessel, alone survived him. 

"Mr. Samuel S. Green, of No. 4!t Dan- 
iel street, this city, is the son of Mark 
Wentworth Green, [usually known as 
Mark Green], who was born in Ports- 
mouth in the year 17(!2. 

He [;Mark Wentworth (ireen] was 
baptized in (Queen's (]"hapel — now St. 
John's church — his sponsor being Mark 
Ilunking Wentwortli. The interest of 
the latter gentleman in his godchild took 
shape in a proposition to send the young 
man to England to be educated. 

Voung (Jreen was a patriot, however, 
and declined the generous ort'er, and 
shipped on board a Portsmouth privateer. 
This vessel was fortunate in capturing 
three or four prizes, but was in turn 
captured by three British men-of-Avar. 
The youth was sent, a prisoner, to Hali- 
fax; but was exchanged not long after, 
and sent on a cartel to (Jloucester, Mass. 
Like his shipmates, he was penniless, and 
together they returned on foot to Ports- 
mouth. During the passage from Hali- 
fax the men were crowiled so closely in 
the hold of the vessel tliat no changr 
of position was possible except by cum-

mand. and -Keady — About I" was the order 
by which they were permitted to relieve 
their cramped bodies. 

Upon reachinii home .Mr, (ireen enlisted 
in the f'-deral army and served until the 
end of the war. With liis rejjiment he 
witnessed the British evaeualion of New 
York. Upon the disbandini? of the patriot 
array, he. with his comrades from Torts- 
mouth and Kliot. ap;aia took the road 
which led homeward. On arriving at 
Haverhill thi^y crossed the river on the ice, 
regardless of danger, so eager were they 
to reach home and friends. 

The father of this young man, Mr. 
John (Jreen, was carpenter ou the priva- 
teer 'Rambler' under Paul Jones [See 
below]. 

Mr. .Samuel S. Green, who counts an 
experience of seventy years, is justly 
proud of his patriotic kinsmen, and 
stands, himself, before his fdlow citizens 
an uprisht and honorable mau, content 
that in his person his patriotic lineage 
has suffered no stain." 
PortaiiioiU/i Daily C/noin'cle, April 2, /SSg. 

John ( ; reen, stated above to have served 
on the "privateer 'Rambler' under Paul 
Jones," is believed by his grandsou, Mr. 
Samuel S. Green, to have sailed from 
Portsmouth ou the "Ranger." Nov.. 1, 
1777. He was, however, certainly ou the 
V. S. Frigate ".VUiauce," as the name of 
"John (ireeu, Carpenter's ^late," appears 
on the "Roll of the Ollieers and Crew of

Commodore Jones' squadron, and was 
present when he captnred the "Serapis," 
Sept. 2:!, I77!t, but took little part in the 
action. .Mark (ireen, not long liefore his 
death, received prize money due his father 
for captures made by the ".\lliance."

Portsmouth Journal, January 21, iSjjj. 

"\Ve announced the death a week or 
two since of 'I'homas Harvey, a Pevoln- 
tionary pensioner, at the age of s.^, [See 
above]. 'I'iie following incident is re- 
lated in a Boston pai)er : 

'When Lafayette visited Portsmouth in 
1S24 an interesting scene occurred in the 
hall of audience. Harvey was introduced 
to the (ieneral as a soldier who had 
fought under him. "Do you recollect, 
Marqui< (said Ilax'vey), who bore you on 
his back, after being wounded at the 
battle of P.randv^^ ine, to the surgeon's 
quarters?' 'He was called 'I'om Harvey,' 
said the excellent Lafayette. What took 
place thereafter, if we know, it is not 
proper to relate." "" 

Portsmouth yourmtl. February 4, fSj/. 

Thomas Harvey was born in Ports- 
mouth in 17.">2 or 17.'>;', and served gal- 
lantly in the Continental army during 
seven years of the Revolutionary war. 
He crossed the Delaware with Washing- 
ton, and Avas at the battle of Hrandy- 
wine, Sept. 11. 1777. He died in Ports- 
mouth, . January 18, ls;{7. 

When Lafayette visited Portsmouth, 
Wednesday, September 1, Isl'I, and was 
given a public reception in Franklin Hall, 
at least thirty soldiers of the Revolution, 
who had served under him, and many of 
whom had come from a great distance for 
the purpose of seeing him, were present. 

.\mong those who pressed forward to 
shake hands with the illuj^trious visitor 
was Thomas Harvey. While retaining 
the General's hand the veteran asked him 
if he remembered who carried him oft' 
the field severely wounded at the battle 
of I'.randywine? 

"I do,'" instantly replied the (Jeneral — 
"It was a New Hampshire soldier named 
Thomas Harvey, who rendered me that 
gallant service." 

"Ves,'" said the soldier. "It was Thomas 
Harvey, and — ^with a military salute — I 
am the man." 

'I'he (Jeneral recognized his friend of 
the battle-field, and manifested great 
pleasure at meeting him again after the 
lapse of so many eventful years, and 
greeted him with a cordiality and a 



7,7, 



warmth of mannei- hi<?hly gratifying to tlie 
patriot sol Jier. 

A lU'Avspaper of the time says: "<)iir 
old friend 'riionias llarvoy foniul it ditli- 
cult to restrain himself; the sight of 
Lafayette reealled all the scenes of the 
{{evolution and well nigh overcame him."' 

liarvey was always very patriotic and 
could ill brook a Tory, as was a citizen 
of rortsmouth, whose hired man he was 
for a time. The story is told, that one 
morning he was with him at the old 
Spring Market, with his basket, when 
(;overaor Laugdon came in with his hired 
man and basket. Mr. Harvey's employer 
said to him — "Why can I not have my 
>hoes shine like Governor Kangdon's?" 
The reply Avas — "Mecause he is a 
gentUmanl" — "And am I not a gentle- 
man?"— I'he answer was — '-Xol" — with 
a capital N so forcibly giver, that a 
sympathizing citizen, standing near, put 
half a dollar in Harvey's hand. 

In his later years Harvey was not over- 
burdened with this world's goods, and 
was bent nearly doul)le, but he I'eceived 
a small pension, and was always hapny 
and contented, and quick witted also, as 
the following incident will show. 

The Benevolent Society of the then 
town of Portsmouth had a committee ap- 
pointed to visit the poor one hard win- 
ter to ascertain their wants. 

Among others Mr. Harvey was visited, 
and the gentleman apologized for his 
visit, by saying — "Vou look very com- 
fortable here, I am a sort of a spy go- 
ing around" — Harvey interrupted him ex- 
citedly by saying, — -T don't like spies, 
we hung one (Andre) in the Army, and a 
handsome mau he was too I A good deal 
better looking than yoo are I"

set, whereby several ribs were fractured, 
and a fever ensued, which terminated his 
life. 

Dr. .Jackson was born in this town 
[See above], and received tlie first rudi- 
ments of liis education in the public 
schools here. He studied the the'ory of 
phvsic and surgery, under tiie direction 
of his father, Doctor Clement .Jackson. 



After crnipleting his studies here, he 
went to I.oiklon. and attended lectures in 
the public hospitals there, to perfect him- 
self in surgery. I'pon his return to this 
country, he opened an apothecary's shop, 
but his practice as a physician soon be- 
came so extensive, that he Avas obliged 
to relinquish in a great measure, his bus- 
iness ae a druggist, and attend almost 
entirely to his profession. 

As a physician, he was skilful; as a 
surgeon, eminent. No operation of im- 
portanee was performed for many miles 
round, wiiliout consulting him, and sel- 
dom without his aid. He had great ex- 
perience in the smallpox : and many 
hospitals, which were established for in- 
oculating with that dis( rd> r, wvre cora- 
iiiitted to his care, and he was remarka-

stetric art he obtained high reputation, 
and was frequently applieel to for advice 
ana assistance iu dillicult cases, by per- 
sons who did not generally employ him. 
He frequently performed the operation 
of couching, auel always with success. 

Harvard College conferred on him the 
degree of Doctor of Medicine [ ]7'.i:!] : and

1 not)ly lighting in the second war with 
Great Britain, liis grp.udfalher w:is a 
soldier in the 1 {evolution, so that the tral- 
lant colonel inherited the martial spirit 
that early in life led him to join the 
militia and afterward made him the hero 
of two wars. 

He was commissioned April '.», IS47, as 
First Lieutenant inthe'.tth V . S. Infantry, 
for service in the war with -Mexico. Au- 
gust 2iiih of the same year he was brevet- 
ted Captain for gallantry in the battles of 
Contreras and Churubusco, and commis- 
sioned as Captain the following December. 
At the battle of Chapultepee his l)ravery 
drew forth honorable mention from his 
superior otlicers, and there is no doubt 
that had the war lasted mneii longer he 
would have attained to very high rank. 
At this battle one of those f(jrtnnate 
occurrences of which we read so often, 
but which really occur so seldom, hap- 
pened to the ('olonel. ^Vhile gallantly 
leading his company in the m.igniiiceut 
charge which resulted in the capture of 
this hitherto regarded impregnable fort- 
ress, he felt himself struck full in the 
chest by a bullet, but as he found no 
wound, paid but slight attention to the 
circumstance until the battle was over, 
when upon investigation he found that 
his life had been saved by a pocket bible, 
the gift of his sister, which was pierced 
nearly through by a Mexican 1) illet. 

The Colonel was mustered out of the 
service with his regiment in. Vugust. l."^4.s, 
went to California with the pioneers in

His character demands none of the

nolice. To those who Ivnew him, his 
services, his sutteriusrs and his worth will 
ever render his memory dear. All who 
partake of the blessings secured by the 
enterprise and valor of our revolutionary 
heroes, cannot but feel an interest in the 
events of his life. 

At the commencement of the war of 
the Kevolution, lie entered as a volunteer 
in one of the lirst regiments in Massa- 
chusetts, for the term of one year. 

At the expiration of that engagement, 
he entered on board a private armed ves- 
sel — was captured, carried to England 
and kept in close confinement at the Mill 
Prison for two years and a (luarter, being 
encouraged with no other prospect than a 
still protracted continemeut. or a termi- 
nation of it by being hanged as a rebel. 

Thence he was sent to France in a car- 
tel, where on the 2Uth April, 177!', he en- 
tered on lioard the "Bon Ilomme IJichard,' 
uodej the celebrated John I'aul Jones, 
and was with him in some of the most 
desperate enterprises, in which that com- 
mander was engaged. From that vessel 
he was put on board a prize and ordered 
for France. 

He was again captured and carried into 
Hull in the north of England, transported 
to Spithead, put on board the 'Inicorn' 
frigate and compelled to do duty until at 
the imminent hazard of his life he escaped 
in the Island of Jamaica. Thence he re- 
turned to .Vmerica a little lie fore the close 
of the war. 

After the peace of '.s;; he engaged in the 



mereliant service and continued a repu- 
table shipmaster until near the commence- 
ment of the late war [KSI1!-I.">J, when he 
was appointed by government to the 
command of a K'cvenne Cutter and con- 
tinued in the same to the close of the war. 
After that period, until his death, he 
was employed as Inspector of the Customs 
at this port. in all his various services, 
Cai)t. Kennard sustained the character of 
an honest man and a good citizen."

chosen words of the epitaph inscribed on

Mr. John Langdon Klwyn [his grand-

[his great-grandson] .'

"Col. John Langdon was one of the 
most zealous and worthy patriots of the 
time, at work in season and out of sea- 
son, Avith mind, hands and means, in the 
cause of liberty. He was born in Ports- 
mouth, in 174(1 [See above], and was the 
son of John, and grandson of Tol)ias 
Langdon. He served an apprenticeship 
as a merchant in the counting-room of 
the Hon. Daniel Ringe [Kindge], but pre- 
ferring a sea-faring life, he went out as 
supercargo of one of Hinge's [Rindge's] 
vessels and subsequently as master or 
captain. He continued in this business 
until the Revolution, and had amassed 
a handsome fortune for the time. 
The British cruisers stopping entirely 
his shipping and mercantile operations, 
and early espousing the patriot cause, 
he had inclination, lesiure and means 
to largely subserve the cause of inde- 
pendence. 

He was one of the leaders in taking 
Fort William and Mary [now Fort Con- 
stitution], at Newcastle, in December, 
1774, was a Delegate to the general con- 
gress in 177.")-i>, raised an independent 
company of light infantry, with rank of 
Colonel, in June of the latter year, was 
judge of the court of common pleas in 
177<;, speaker of the House of Represen- 
tatives in 177(;-7, in which last position, 
during a session of three days, to devise 
ways and means to check the haughty 
Burgoyne, he rose at his desk and made 
the noble, generous, apt and efl'ective 
speech of the Revolution : — 'Gentlemen, 
I have three thousand dollars in hard 
money, thirty hogsheads of Tobago rum, 
worth as much, I can pledge my plate 
for as much more : these are at the ser- 
vice of the State. AVith this money we 
can raise and provision troops, our friend 
John Stark will lead them. If we check 
Burgoyne, the State can repay me, and if 
we do not, the money will be of no use 
to nie.' 

Raising the funds and Stark on his 
way to Bennington, Langdon summoned 



his own company of infantry and fol- 
lowed to Uennington and Saratoga. iJiir- 
goync defeated, he returned home only to 
labor in the good cause, and early in 
177s, as agent of ('ongress, built the 
Raleigh frigate. In this year, also, he 
mounted his company of infantry, 
equii)ped them as cavalry, and marched 
to the defense of Rhode Island. 

In I77".i he was President of the New 
Hampshire Convention, in I7s() Commis- 
sioner of the I'nited States, and in I7s;} 
Delegate to the Congress of the same. 
In ]7sl-."., he was a member of the New 
Hampshire Senate, and in this last year 
was President of the State, elected as 
successor of Meshech Weare. In 17s.s 
he was a member of the Convention that 
formed the Constitution of t>ie I'nited 
States, was S|)eaker of the New Hampshire 
House of Representatives in June of 
the same year, and was again elected 
President of the State. 

In November of the same year [17ss], 
he was elected to the I'nited States Sen- 
ate, ani had the honor of being elected 
the first President //-o tem. of that body, 
and in I7'.»4, he was reelected for another 
term. In isoi he was elected a repre- 
sentative to the New Hampshire Legisla- 
ture and was elected for the three suc- 
cessive years, and was Speaker of the 
House in ISii.") — when he was elected

"Langdon, John, statesman, born in 
Portsmouth, X. II., 2.") June, 1741, died 
there, is Sept., Isii). After receiving a 
common-school education he entered a 
counting-house and became a successful 
merchant. 

In 1774, with John Sullivan and others, 
he participated in the removal of the 
armament and military stores from Fort 
William and Mary [now Fort Constitu- 
tion] in Portsmouth harbor. He was 
elected a delegate to the ( ontinental Con- 
gress in 177.''>, but resigned in June, 177<;. 
to become navy agent. 

In 1777, while he was speaker of the 
the New Hampshire assembly, when 
means were wanted to support a regiment, 
Langdon gave all his mont-y, pledged his. 
plate, and subscribed the proceeds of 
seventy hogsheads of tobacco [See above} 
for the purpose of ecpiipping the brigade 
with which (ien. John Stark subsequent-

elected V. S. Senator, holding oilice till

for President of the Inited States might

"Pierse Lonir (the father of Col. Pierse 
Long of Uevolutionary mi-mory) was 
born in Limerick, Irehmd, about the com- 
mencement of the eighteenth century, and 
served an apprenticeship with one who 
did business with America; and by him 
was sent out with goods, the manufac- 
ture of Ireland, to this town, in the year 
17.5II." Her'; he st^ttled. married, and had 
three children; one son, and two daugh- 
ters ; the latter died unmarried. "Pierse 
Long, the senior, died in 174(»."' 

"Pierse Long, Jr. (afterwards Col. 
Long), was born in iT.i'.t. He received 
instruction in the elements of education 
from the celebrated teacher, Samuel 
Hale. At the age of fourteen, Pierse 
was apprenticed as a clerk to Robert 
Tiail [Traill], an emigrant from Scot- 
land, and a distinguished merchant of 
Portsmouth. At the close of his appren- 
ticeship, Pierse Lons was established in 
business by Mr. Trail [Traill], as a 
shipping merchant, which he continued 
to prosecute with success until the war 
of the Revolution. 

In this Mr. Long took an early and de- 
cided part, and in 177.") was chosen one of 
the delegates to the tirst provincial Con- 
gress, convened at E.xeter. In this ollice 
he continued for some time, acting also 
about this period as one of the Commit- 
tee of Safety for Portsmouth, and was en- 
gaged with Langdon, Pickering, Drown, 
and about forty other citizens, in surpris- 
ing and capturing the fort at the mouth of 
Portsmouth liarl)nr. 

Pierse I ong continued to fill different 
offices under the then province and town 
until May, 177ii, when the provincial Leg- 
islature appointed him to the command 
of the First New Hampshire regiment. 
. . . This regiment continued in the 
serviceof the Province until July l.">, 177(;, 
when, it being determined by the general 
government to receive into the service no 
more provincial troops, it was disbanded, 
but immediately reenlisted into the Con- 
tinental service, under Pierse Long as 
Colonel and commander. 

This regiment continued to be stationed 
at the forts around Portsmouth harbor 
(a company in Portsmouth being sta- 
tioned near the Old South) until October 
[November 2:".], 177(;, when it received 
orders to march to the Canada border, 
near Lake Champlaiu [to reinforce the 
army at Ticonderoga, and marched for 
that post in February following].

It reached there safcl}' in about twenty 
days; and reporting for duty to (Jen. St. 
Clair. Col. Long was assigned to the 
command of Fort Independence, across 
the Lake, with his oAvn and Col. Carle- 
ton's regiments; and at the same time 
was made Brigadier (ieneral, by brevet. 

The lake being closed with ice during 
the latter part of the fall, the winter 
and part of the spring, nothing of note 
occurred until about the middle of June, 
1777, when the Knglish flotilla of many 
guns advancing by water, to be joined 
by (ien. lUirgoyne, with ten thousand 
English, Canadians, Tories, and Indians, 
by land, it was determined by Gen. 
St. Clair, in a council of ollieers, to 
abandon his position with his small army 
of three thousand men, and retreat with 
the American flotilla up through Lake 
( Jeorge, towards Fort Edward. 

Col. Long was entrusted with the com- 
mand of the flotilla, consisting of one 
schooner of sixteen guns, one of ten, and 
several smaller crafts, with orders to 
blow up the vessels to prevent their fall- 
ing into the hands of the enemy, — which 
was accomplishc<l after they had disem- 
barked his own and Col. Carleton's regi- 
ment at Skenesborough. 

Leaving Skenesborough, the troops 
proceeded on towards Saratosa, and the 
next day (July (i) Col. Long and his 
command was overtaken by the British 
ninth regiment, under the command of 
Col. Hayes. An action ensued, in which 
the British were beaten, and retreating 
left the tteld in the possession of the 
Americans. 

At about this time, the period for which 
the troops had enlisted having expired, 
they all asked and received their dis- 
charge, otlicers as well as men, except- 
ing Fdward Fvans, chaplain; Noah 
Emery, paymaster : and Lieut, or ( "ol. 
[Lieutenant] .Meshach Bell, and Col. 
Long's servant, James .Mullen. 

These, with Col. Long, continued on to 
Saratoga, and there volunteered their 
services to the commander-in-chief [Gen- 
eral Gates], and assisted in the capture of 
(ieneral Burgoyne and his army [who 
surrendered October KI, 1777]. 

( ol. Long being ill, arrived in Forts- 
mouth, Dec. li [1777 1 ; and continued con- 
fined to his liouse fo)' six months, with 
the disorder usual to camps ; nor did he 
entirely recover till a year had expired. 
As soon as he had sulliciently recovered 
hLs health he resumed his mercantile pur- 
suits, but at the same time sutl'ered from 
attacks of the gout, and sometimes 
could not move without the aid of 
crutches. 

In 17s4 he was appointed by the State 
of New Hampshire a delegate to the old 



Congress, which post he filled through 
three or four successive years till 178(» 
[17S4-.')-(;]. From the year 17S(; to 178!> 
[17s8-!» — N. H. .Manual.] he was elected 
State Senator or Councillor, and in 17S8 
was delegate to the Convention to adopt 
the present Constitution [of the United 
States], and gave his influence and vote 
for its reception by New Hampshire. 

When Washington was chosen Presi- 
dent, he appointed Col. Long Collector of 
the Customs at Portsmouth: but before 
he had taken possession of his ottice, he 
was found dead in his bed. He retired 
in apparent health, but died without any 
previous warning, of (as it was supposed) 
gout in the stomach, at the early age of 
fifty, .\pril ;■>, 17s'.». His remains are in- 
terred in the lot in the Proprietors' bury- 
ing ground, belonging to his son, at the 
western end of the granite monuments 
[monument]. Col. Long was a hand- 
some, portly man, of unblemished chris- 
tian character, amiable and courteous, a 
correct merchant and a good soldier."

Capt. John Mct'lintnck was the sou of 
the Rev. Dr. Samuel McCMintock of Green- 
land, N. I! . who was t'haplaiu iu the 
army of the Kevolution, and was at the 
battle of Bunker lldl. The patriotic 
clertryinan may bo seen represented iu the 
engraving of the battle, in his ministerial 
bauds, near the spot where Gen. AVarren 
lies wounded [See beloAv]." 

"John McClint ck, who was born on 
the '2f<th of .\niriist. 17(11, enttred ihe ser- 
vice at the aire of about 1(5. in the pri- 
vate armed shi|) 'Alexander." of I'd guns, 
under Captain Thomas Simpson, who 
afterwards succeeded I'aul Jones iu com- 
mand of the Ranger." At the age of 17. 
Jihn McClintock was Master's Alale, and 
was entrusted with conducting a prize 
into the NN'est Indies. lie remained in 
the service four years, lackinsr one 
month— but not being in any public ship 
he i-eceived lo pension for revolutionary 
services." 

"Afti-r the peace, John McClintock en- 
tered the merchant service, and was be- 
fore the close of the last century ship- 
master and owner. He met with losses 
by the French Spoliations in 17',i7, of 
over 810, (UMi, for which his government 
received a remunerati'~>n, but none ever 
reached him — nor did he ever dispose of 
a dollar of his claims to any one. 

After leaving the ocean he followed 
mercantile pursuits in this city, and ever 
manifested a high sense of honor and in- 
tegrity in his dealings and intercourse — 
and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of 
all the leading men of his times. He was 
of a vigorous constitution, and strength- 
ened it by a temperate and industrious 
course of life. 

Under Harrison';* administration he 
was appointed N'aval ( )fticer of this port, 
and when his term of office expired in 
August, \x'>\, Tresident Tierce renewed 
his commission." 

''The world may perhaps be challenaed 
to produce another man who performed 
the daily duties of a responsible public 
otlice, in the full possession of his fac- 
ulties, until within live years of a cen- 
tury in age. 

But he has now gone — and with him 
departs our last living chronicle of the 
American Revolution — the last intelligent 
tie which bound us with those patriots 
and lieroes Avho achieved the blessings 
under which our country has acquired 
her high position among the nations. 
"\'es, the Patriarch of the Revolution, 
who has so long been left to tell us of 
the spirit of our fathers — the Man who 
by his noble spirit, his industrious habits, 
his upright life and stern integrity, has 
inspired a veneration for the men of a 



j former age, is now no more — and none 
can fill his place."'

William McClintock, (the father of Dr. 
Samuel McClintock) was born in Scot- 
land; early removed to Londonderry, 
Ireland ; and after the siege of that place 
in 1(!SS it, came to this country and settled 
on Mystic river. 

"Dr. Samuel McClintock was born in 
17o2. He was educated at Princeton 
College," and soon after finishing h\> 
studies became minister of the church at 
Greenland. 

"During the Revolution he strongly 
espoused the side of the people, . . . 
and was Chaplain at the battle of Bunker 
Hill.'" 

"Three of his sons perished in the 
war. One of them, Nathaniel, received 
a collegiate education at Harvard, but the 
war breaking out he joined (ieneral 
"Washington, and was raised to the rank 
of Major of Brigade. ["He was with

regiment was orcU'red South. . . . 
lie was then (although he had not reached 
L'l years of aae) raised to the rank of 
Major of the line, over all the older Cap- 
tains. As he was therefore regarded 
with jealousy by those lower than him 
self in rank, he resigned his commission 
and returned home, lie was induced to 
take tlie command of a company of ma- 
rines ^^hich went out in a ship-of-war, 
the Uileiirh.' and soon after perished in 
an eng'gemeut. Another son of Dr. 
McClintoek was an otlieer at the battle of 
Trenton and there slain : and a third was 
lost at sea, serving as a Midshipman, and 
afterwards as a Lieutenant, in a ship-of- 
war." 

Uev. Mr. McCliutoek "was loved and 
esteemed by his parish, and in the latter 
part of his life received the Diploma of 
Doctor of 1 )ivinity from Princeton Col- 
h'ge where he was educated." 

••History informs ns that during the 
battle of Bunker Hill" Kev. Samuel Mc- 
Cliutoek ••knelt on the Held, Avith hands 
upraised, and grey head uncovered; and, 
while the bullets whistled around him, 
prayed for the success of the compatriots,

•'Born in Portsmouth, N. H., in the 
year ls:57. — Died August 24 [See above], 
"issr, at tlie age of tlfty years. 

Our deceased comrade first entered the 
1'. S service in is.'.'.i, at which time he 
shipped on board the l'. S. S. -St. Louis," 
which Avas [in isc.l] ordered to Florida, 
to guard Fort Pickens. Comrade I'an- 
dall's term of Navy service expired in 
ls(i-_>, and he was honorably discharged 
therefrom. 

After remaining at home for a short 
time, he enlisted August S, IsCl*, as a 
Private in (apt. Betton's company, K. of 
the l;;th Regiment, N. II. Volunteers, for 
a term of three years, and participated 
in nearly every engagement that the regi- 
ment was in. At thi battles of Fred- 
ericksburg. Suffolk, at Bermuda Hundred, 
the ten days right at Coal [Cold] Harbor, 
at the capture of Battery ."i in front of 
I'etersburg, and many other engagements, 
the tall and conspicuous form of Charles 
AV. Kandall, could be seen at the right of 
the company; and yet there were more 
jewels to be added to his crown of honor, 
for in the famous charge ard capture of 
Fort Harrison on Sept 2'.i. Ixi'A, comrade 
Kandall bore his part of that terrible 
battle. 

On the day following the capture of 
the fort, and while the regiment was ly- 
ing behind shallow l)reastworks com- 
posed of two logs, from which the rebels 
had been repulsed by our scanty forces 
in three successive charges, he was 
struck by a bullet, which entered the 
body just back of, and below the risht 
arm, making a very bad wound, which 
was pronounced mortal. Notwithstand- 
ing his injury his courage never failed 
him, and he remarked to his comrade, 
First Sergeant B. F. Winn, that he 
wishi d for one more shot before leaving 
the Held, he succeeded in loading and 
tiring his rifle, and then made his way to 
the rear as best he could His wound 
was probed for the bullet, but without 
success, and his condition was pronounc- 
ed hopeless. .\ strong constitution and 
a persistent courage which nothing daunt- 
ed, kept him up, however, and he was 
restored to partial health. 

Our comrade was a constant sufferer 
from the ellects of the rebel bullet which 
he carried for twenty-three years, and 
yet his spirit remained unbroken till the 
last, and when his brave soul left the 
poor shrunken body, encumbered with 
rebel lead, there passed away as brave a 
soldier as ever wore the blue. 

Comrade IJandall joined Storer Post, 
(J. A. 11 , May 1^7, issi, where he remained 
a respected member, and his death adds 
one more to the silent roll-call."

"T.ate Henry L. Richards. — It pains us 
to say that this noble hearted man is no 
more. .\.t the commencement of the re- 
bellion he offered his services in defence 
of his country. Though possessing ster- 
ling ability, he sought no high position, 
but only that in which he was confident 
of being most useful. When requested 
to take a commission, his reply was, -Xo 
— I had rather be a good soldier than a 
poor ollicer." 

When the company of Sliarpshooters 
was forming at Concord, he went on foot 
to that place from Portsmouth, was ex- 
amined, accepted, and he returned home 
in the same way, to fit up for hi.< depart- 
ure. .\fter an absence with the army of 
fourteen months, in which time he was 
exposed in several engagements, he came 
home wounded in November [ls(;2J last. 

.\s soon as his health would permit he 
again joined the army, on the Rappahan- 
nock, and on the 2d of July [l.S(;;5], at 
the battle of Gettysburg, Avas severely 
wounded in his knee by a minnie ball. 
After remaining on the ground all night, 
he was taken up and carried to the hospi- 
tal, where amputation was performed, 
while under the influence of chloroform, 
from tho etlects of which he did not revive. 
His age was .".s [:>!»]. His remains will 
probably reach here in a few days, and the 
performance of the last sad rites will

A resident of this city, and a Ports-

"We voice the general sentiment of 
our citizens in expressing the sorrow of 
this community, and its sympathy for 
his bereaved family. In his untimely 
end, Portsmouth is deprived of one ever

It is related in Brewster's "Rambles

to Portsmouth in 17.s'.i, he called, Tuesday 
forenoon, November ;'.rd,on Mrs. Tobias 
lycar, the mother of his private secretary, 
Col. Tobias Lear, then living near the 
east end of Ilunking street, and "in the 
south-west parlor, he was introduced to 
and cordially greeted every member of 
the family — the venerable mother, her 
children and her grandchildren." 

Among the grandchildren a babe is 
presented, son of Samuel Storer, a dry 
goods merchant of Portsmouth, then re- 
siding in the same house, "who has been 
christened '(ieorge Washington.' The 
President places his hand gently upon 
the infant's head, and expres.ses the wish 
that he may 'be a better man than the 
one whose name he bears.' '" 

This child was George AVashington 
Storer — and as his name is proudly borne 
by Storer Post, it is particularly worthy 
of remembrance that he is one of the very 
few men of whom it could be said "that 
they have thus been under the hand and 
received thus the personal blessing of 
our country's father."

la August, 1777, "the 'IkUleigh,' a fine 
twelve-pounder Irigate, that had been 
constructed in New Hampshire, under 
the law of 177.">, Avas enabled to get to 
sea for the tirst time. She was command- 
ed b}' Captain Thompson, the ollicer who 
appears as sixth on the list, and sailed in 
company with the -Alfred," 24, Captain 
Ilinman. These two ships went to sea, 
short of men, bound to France, where 
military stores were in waiting to be 
transported to America. 

The 'IJaleigh' and 'Alfred' had a good 
run oil" the coast, and they made several 
prizes of little value darin<r the first few 
days of their passage. On the 2d of 
September they overtook and captured a 
snow, called the 'Nancy,' which had been 
left by the outward bound Windward 
Island fleet the previous day. .Vscertain- 
Ing from his prisoners the position of 
the West Indiamen, Captain 'I'hompson 
made sail in chase. The fleet was under 
the charge of the 'Camel', -Druid,' 'Wea- 
sel.' and 'Grasshopper,' the flrst of which 
is said to have had an armament of 
twelve pounders. Th.^ following day, or 
September ?>A. 1777, the 'lialeigh' made 
the convoy from her mast-heads, and by 
sunset was near enough to ascertain that 
there were sixty sail, as well as. the posi- 
tions of the men-of-war. Captain 
Thompson had got the signals of the fleet 
from his prize, and he now signalled the 
-.Vlfred," as if belonging to the convoy. 
After dark he spoke his consort, and di- 
rected her commander to keep near him, 
it being his intention to run in among the 
enemy, and to lay the commodore aboard. 
At this time, the two American ships 
Avere to Avindward, but nearly astern. 

In the course of the night the wind 
shifted to the northAvard, and the convoy 
hauled by the wind, bringing the Ameri- 
can ships to leeward. At daylight the 
wind had freshened, and it became nec- 
essary to carry more sail than the '.Vl- 
fred" (a tender-sided ship) could bear. 
Here occurred one of those instances of 
the unfortunate consequences which must 
alAvays follow the employment of vessels 
of unequal qualities in the same s(iuadron, 
or the employment of ollicers not trained 
in the same high school. The -.Mfred' 
Avould not bear her canvas, and Avhile 
the 'lialeigh' fetched handsomely into the 
fleet, under double-reefed topsails, the 
former fell to leeward more than a league. 



Captain Thompson did not dare to short- 
en sail, lest his character might be sus- 
pected, and despairing of being supported 
by the 'Alfred.' he stood boldly in among 
the British shijjs alone, and hove-to his 
ship in order to permit the merchant- 
men astern to draw more ahead of him. 

WhHi his plan Avaslaid, Captain Thomp- 
son filled aAvay, and stood directly 
through the convoy, lulling up toAvards 
the vessel of Avar that Avas most to Avind- 
ward. In doing this he spoke several of 
the merchantmen, giving them orders 
hoAv to steer, as if belonging himself to the 
fieet, and repeating all the commodore's 
signals. Up to this moment the 'Kaleigh' 
appears to have escaped detection, nor 
had she any signs of preparation about 
her, as her guns Avere housed, and her 
ports loAvered. 

Having obtained a weatherly position, 
the 'Raleigh' now ran along-side of the 
vessel-of-Avar, and when within pistol- 
shot, she hauled up her courses, run out 
her guns, set her ensign, and commanded 
the enemy to strike. So completely Avas 
this vessel taken by surprise, that the 
order threw her into grt at confusion, and 
even her sails got aback. The 'IJaleigh' 
seized this favorable moment to pour in 
a broadside, which was feebly returned. 
The enemy Avere soon driven from their 
guns, and the 'lialeigh' fired twelve 
broadsides into the English ship in tAveuty 
minutes, scarcely receiving a shot in re- 
turn. A heavy swell rendered the aim 
uncertain, but it Avas evident that the 
British vessel suffered severely, and this 
the more so, as she AA'as of inferior force. 

A squall had come on, and at flrst it 
shut in the tAVO ships engajicd. \Vh'-u it 
cleared aAvay, the convoy Avas seen steer- 
ing in all directions, in the utmost con- 
fusion, but the vessels of Avar, Avith sev- 
eral lieavy Avell-:lrmed West Indiamen, 
tacked and hauled up for the 'Haleigh,* 
leaving no doubt of their intentions to 
engage. The frigate lay by her adver- 
sary until the other vessels were so near, 
that it became absolutely necessary to 
quit her, and then she ran to leeAvard and 
joined the '.Vlfred.' Here she shortened 
sail, and Avaited for the enemy to come 
doAvn, but it being dark, the British com- 
modore tacked and hauled in among his 
convoy again. The 'Kaleigh' and 'Alfred' 
kept near this fleet for several days, but 
no provocation could induce the vessels 
of war to come out of it. and it was flnal- 
ly abandoned. 

The ship engaged by the 'lialeish," 
proved to be the 'Druid,' 20, ( aptain Car- 
teret. She Avas much cut up, and the 
official report of her commander made 
her loss six killed and tAventy-six wound- 
ed. Of the latter, Ave died soon after 



6.- 



the action, and among the wounded was 
her commander. The 'Druid" was unable 
to pursue the voyage, and returned to 
Knyluud. 

In this adair, Captain 'l'lion)pson dis- 
covered a proper spirit, for he niiiiht 
easily have cut out of the lleet half a dozen 
merchantmen, but he appears to have 
acted on the principle that vessels of 
war should first seek vessels of war. 
The ']{alei<rh' had three men killed and 
woumled in the engaiiement, but other- 
wise sustained little injury."

going to tight for your liberty, but I have 
none to fight for." 'Prince,' said the (ir-n-

"Died. In this town, on Tuesday last 
[June 22, IS.'.O], Hon. Elijah Hall, aged 87 
[See above]. Capt. Hall was Lieutenant 
in the Navy in the Revolutionary war, 
sailed under John Paul -Jones in the 
'Ranger ;' was many years elected Coun- 
sellor from this district; and for several 
years prior to his death was Naval Officer 
of the District of Portsmouth. 

He was, in private life, an estimable 
citizen, a fair merchant, a tender parent, 
and an honest man." 

Portsmouth yournnJ, ynnc 26, iSjo. 

"Lieut. Elijah Hall," a "brave and 
meritorious ollicer, . . . served with 
the Chevalier John Paul Jones," . . . 
and "was a lieutenant under the Chevalier 
in the 'Ranger.' 



Lieut. Hall had entered on board this 
vessel at Portsmouth, N. I L, before her 
departure for France [Nov. 1, 1777], aud 
was in her with Jones in his cruise on 
the coasts of Scotland and Ireland, in the 
descent on Whitehaven, and in the battle 
with the 'Drake" [April 24, 177s]. When 
[Lieut]. Simpson behaved so badly as to 
disobey orders, it was Hall that was se- 
lected to arrest him, and to command the 
•Drake' in his stead. The prominent 
traits of Lieut. Hall's character were 
promptitude and energy; of which he 
gave a remarkable instance in repairing 
the 'Drake' in the course of one night, 
with the assistance of forty men, after 
Simpson had pronounced it impossible in 
her then shattered condition. 

Lieut. Hall went to Brest with Jones; 
and when, through the benevolence of 
the latter, Simpson was put in command 
of the 'Ranger' for the purpose of re- 
turning to America, Hall occupied the 
post of first lieutenant. 

After his return to the Fnited States, 
he was engaged in several expeditions 
against the enemy, on board the same 
ship, with Commodore Whipple, and was 
very successful in making captures, most 
of which arrived safely in port. When 
the 'America,' 74. was assigned to Jones, 
he oll'ered Lieut. Hall a very honorable 
and etiieient station in her; but the gift 
of that vessel to France frustrated his 
good intentions. 

Lieut. Hall eventually proceeded in the 
'Ranger,' with other ships of war, to as- 
sist in tlie defence of Charleston, S. C, 
where he fell into the hands of the ene- 
my, in common with the garrison, by 
capitulation [.May 11, 17?<0]. He returned 
to New Hampshire, but was not ex- 
changed uutil a general surrender of 
prisoners. He never resigned his com- 
mission, and was always ready for ac- 
tive service. 

At the close of the war of the Revolu- 
tion he engaged in commercial pursuits, 
by which he enriched himself; but suf- 
fered considerably by the I5ritish orders 
in council, and the French Berlin and 
Milan decrees. 

Although oflered a pension by govern- 
ment, he would not receive it, but accept- 



74 



ed the appointment of Naval Officer for 
Portsmouth, a situation Avhlch he still 
retains [isK.")], at thi.' advanced ago of 
So [See above]. With the snow of so 
many winters upon his head, he discharg- 
es his duty, it is understood, with the 
greatest satisfaction to the merchants 
and otliers, allording proof of an uncom- 
mon vi:xor of constitution and strength 
of intellect. Faitlifnl to liis country and 
true to liis dnty in every situation, tliere 
can l)e no doubt tliat a consciousness of 
probity has ensured for him that intel- 
lectual tranciuillity which is so favoral)le 
to Imnian life. 

As far as the aullior of this ^\■OYk is 
inforniod. ("ominodore [IJichard] Dale 
and Lieutenant Hall are [were in 1S2.")] 
the only surviving officers of all those 
Avho, at various times, sailed with and 
fought under the Chevalier John Paul 
Jones. Time has laid others in the 
dust; but seems to have preserved these 
two venerable men as a sample of the 
stout hearts and strong frames of the 
heroes who Ijraved the shores and s(|nad- 
rons of (Jreat lU'itaiu, and ixlncked 
laurels in her very ports to deck the brow 
and promote the glory of infant Amer- 
ica."

matters, and while assistant pastor of 
the Xorth church he taught the grammar 
school ill Portsmouth up to the date of

during Lis full pastorate, he built the 
house in which Capt. and INlrs. Harris

cupied it during his pastoral connection 
with the church. The mansion has been 
in the possession of the family and oc- 
cupied by them uninterruptedly since 
that period. 

He graduated at Harvard in 1740, with 
high honors, his conspicuous merit after- 
ward winning distinguished recognition 
by his elevation to the presidential chair 
of his college. In public att'airs he nat- 
urally exercised a profound influence; 
this was felt in the Constitutional Con- 
vention of 17.SS, where, by his voice and 
example he contributed more perhaps, 
than any other man to the favorable 
action of that body."

PRE-REVOLUTION.

"Among the venerable citizens of Ports- 
mouth of half a century ago [ISd!)], we 
Avell remember Capt. Peter Coues, a 
gentleman of independent circumstances, 
who might be seen, with his cane under 
his arm on State street, or in the vicinity. 
His residence previous to the tire of lsi;5, 
was on the southwest corner of Atkinson 
and State streets [the latter being then 
named Buck street], on the spot where 
W. J. Laighton"s house now [isd'j] stands. 
In the old dwelling house was a store 
where for many years he kept ship chand- 
lery, merchandise, groceries, etc. 

In early life Capt. Peter Coues was 
pressed into the British service [See 
below]. He was at one time sailing- 
master of the famous 'IJoyal George," 
which was afterwards, in 17S2, sunk in 
the British Channel [Portsmouth harbor, 
P>ngland] with eight hundncl men on 
board. Ho also served in the capacity of 
midshipman. .Vfter several years ser- 
vice in the British Navy, he returned to 
Portsmouth Ijefore the American Rev- 
olution, where, by that url)anity of mind 
and simplicity of manners for which sea- 
faring men of liberal views are generally 
distinguished, he obtained a good stand- 
ing amoii<r his fellow citizens, and died 
on the 2'. I th of Xdvember, Isis, at the 



advanced age of eighty-three years [See

Capt. Peter Cones was born in Ports-

Peter C<nies, senior, who w;isborn in the 
Parisii of Saint Pi-lers in the Island of 
.Jersey, in the Knglish Cliannel, about tin- 
year 1710. settled in Portsmouth, and 
married Mary Lonii of this town, Nov. \.

many years in the West Indies, when he 
perhaps visited Portsmouth — was his 
mother's cousin ; Capt. Peter Coues was 
probably appointed a Midshipman in the 
British Navy, when a boy. through his 
influence, and the statement in the "Ifam- 
bles," that he was "pressed," is doubt- 
less an error. Another consin. Captain 
Cotton Dent, K. X., also commanded a 
sloop-of-war on the .lamaica Station, in 
1744 (See "Charnock,"' Vol. V, pages
